We were told the same, but I do use a rope ball with Gypsy that she loves.

I do prefer running her with a sited person. to keep chloe out of trouble I use a ball and a chucker (plastic stick with cup for holding the ball on the end, it helps it fly further) chloe chases the ball and retrieves it to me. when she is chasing back and forth she doesn't get in any bother like rolling in puddles!! I also have bells on her and her recall is great. I hear what you are saying re the dog attacks and it is a worrying one.
